[Gambas-user] Class behavior: _free method

[CD]

Hello

I join a test project that gives me 3 problems

1°) the class name during the instantiation is forced with a capital letter:
clsTestClass becomes ClsTestClass.

2°) As I must share the same instance between several procedures, I declare it
without instantiating it in the declarations.
But when I instantiated it in one of the procedures, Gambas does not offer me
the public members of the class.

3°) The class contains a Timer, and when I free the instance, I thought I could
free the Timer. It does not work!
First I have to free the Timer from outside the class, so that I can free the
instance afterwards...

Is all this normal?

Best regards
